Jets safety LaRon Landry has insisted all offseason that he will be physically ready for the start of the regular season.

He’s not ready for the start of training camp, though. The Jets announced Monday that Landry is one of four players they have placed on the physically-unable-to-perform list as they prepare to head up to Cortland for camp. Those players count against the 90-man roster limit and can be activated at any time.

Landry did not take part in OTAs or minicamp after signing with the Jets as a free agent, raising concerns about the Achilles injury that limited him with the Redskins. Washington doctors wanted Landry to have surgery, something he has resisted and his condition was questionable enough that the Jets build protections against injury into his contract. The Jets haven’t made a big deal about his absence and, as mentioned, Landry insists he’ll be fine when the bell rings.

I am shocked — shocked — to read this. Why, he had just taken a picture of his bare chest in the mirror the other day and posted it on Twitter!
